Here’s a quick list of screen recording tools I’ve used and find decent enough for creating POCs, videos, etc.
Openscreen
Create stunning screen recordings for free. Open-source, no subscriptions, no watermarks, and free for commercial use. An alternative to Screen Studio
Supports GIFs and MP4 outputs.

OBS Studio
OBS Studio - Free and open source software for live streaming and screen recording
Insanely good but overkill for most use cases.

Remotion
Cool tool to make video edits with code. Can be used pretty effectively with LLMs too.
